<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 288185, member: 3726"]First if you are happy with the coins then I do not see how you over paid. The 1797 I would grade vf20 or VF30. I do not know if it is the picture or the 2x2, but the date looks weak. By I am not an expert, but that is one nice 1797 cent. The cud mark on the left hand side also looks weak - so maybe it is just the strike. NICE coin!</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1856 I would say au-details recolored. It looks flat. I wonder why someone would have cleaned they coin. The details look nice and I think I just see a touch of wear around the hair. I can't really make out the 5(how close it is to the curl) and how close the one is to the bust and denticle. How about a close up around the date? Or go to Heritage and look at a 1856 n-8 an compare your coin to it. Another nice coin![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
